Default I believe this green and cranberry vase is Murano...

I believe this vase was made in Murano. Could it be vintage Mandruzzato? I haven't found another like it. All of the corners are beveled and the sides and bottom are highly polished. The inside is rounded almost like a gurgle bottle and the outside is square. The bottom shows quite a bit of wear. Mostly scratching.
It's about 8" tall x 2 1/2" across top tapering to 2" across bottom.

It's post WWII Czech. The style was made by a few Czech companies after being designed by Oldrich Lipsky at Exbor. The originals, which are relatively expensive, usually are acid marked "Exbor" on the base. Even if there's no acid mark, your piece could be an original as the colour scheme is one that Lipsky used. Copies can be more garish. Good piece. These fetch more than Mandruzato pieces, btw.

Thank you soooo much!!! I was also searching for Czech but found nothing similar. This is an older piece. There is quite a bit of wear on the bottom.
